Happy astrological new year, everyone! With the full force of Aries Season upon us, we find ourselves navigating the first Eclipse Season of the year in the Aries-Libra axis. This season ignited our primal spark, urging self-discovery amid contradictions. As we confront pain and fear, eclipses intensify our journey, leading to greater clarity and freedom. Profound changes have occurred, igniting a surge of energy within us as we experience intense shifts, releasing codependencies, and embracing interdependent connections with ourselves and society at large.
For this season, we're birthing our first collaborative mix, Juli, Mika, and Pau, resident DJs at MPS. As we gather to celebrate the new astrological year, we're crafting a unified sound for our collective. This inaugural mix blends of our styles with the Aries beat offers an extra burst of energy whenever you need it.

Prepare for powerful transformations, feel the energy growing in your body and soul and take action towards your deepest desires, the sun in Aries will make sure you are safe and protected to take those leaps of faith!

Virgo Season is the season to reconnect with our bodies (physical and ethereal) and be of service to our highest state of health. How much power are we giving away when it comes to our own perception of health? Do we own autonomy in the desired design of our lives? Are we listening to what our bodies are trying to tell us?

Collectively we are all facing Pluto stationing retrograde for the last time in Capricorn, closing up a 15 year cycle of realizing what systems in power are not serving us anymore and how we possess the power to transform what is already outdated. We are also entering Mars in Cancer, our emotions are our fuel… if we let them! Ultimately during this season let’s celebrate that we made it till here, that the sacred temples of our bodies are capable of immense healing through something as simple as movement.

We invite you all to shake it all up and vibrate higher and higher with the healing power of music. We are honored to welcome once again our beloved Steffi to be the Virgo Sun DJ guest and proper channeler of Virgo essence in frequency. See you all in the ethereal dancefloor!

Virgo’s archetype, embodying the pursuit of perfection through self-improvement and a heart devoted to serving others, takes center stage. It urges us to dive deep into self-growth and purity of intent.

Virgo’s influence extends to our physical vessels—the bodies we inhabit. It’s a time of purification, a cleansing energy that sparks sacred transformation within us. We reflect on our physical state, aspiring to be our best selves and setting a course for inner metamorphosis. Virgo, fundamentally, symbolizes the harmonious integration of mind, heart, and the nervous system, approached with an analytical precision.

Ask yourself: Are you ready to share with the world the unique gifts that only you possess?

For this show, Mark has put together a mix of songs that smoothly transition from one to the next. Each song is handpicked to assist you in accessing the sign’s healing energy whenever you desire. This is the embodiment of Virgo’s influence in the realm of music – a rhythmic and precise arrangement that imbues us with a profound sense of productivity.

Virgo season is a romantic period where love is not necessarily expressed in big words, but rather in small gestures and pragmatic actions. Virgo energy is quite misunderstood, since they are very down to Earth and into analytical planning, they are also a Mutable sign, and as such they are more open minded and flexible than we can all give credit for. This energy is available to all of us during this season, we can become more serious when it comes to our health, wealth, overall wellbeing, and showing generosity to the right crew that is there for us no matter what. Reciprocity is the key word, are we being conscious of an equal give and take in our connections? If not, we are going to sense that we are certainly starting to cut out any plans with people and situations that are attached to co-dependencies, us being the other half end of those co-dependencies, finally taking responsibility and waving goodbye to old habits. It is the season where letting go of the limiting connections is vital, and moving the energy/focus towards nurturing the ones that help our expansion, starting with the one we hold with ourselves, is crucial. Welcome Virgo Season, the time to shift is NOW.

For this show we invited our Virgo Queen Steffi Ström to guide us towards her journey as a Virgo Sun soul, connecting with the essence of ambient and deep techno sounds, or as we like to say, the organized path to go deep.

Sagittarius season 2024 arrives with an expansive charge, beckoning us toward horizons yet unseen. It’s a time to dream big, to explore not just the world but the spaces within ourselves where truth resides. The Archer’s energy shoots for the stars, carrying with it the optimism of Jupiter’s rule—a reminder that growth often comes when we dare to step beyond the familiar.

Yet, the skies carry a stirring complexity. Communication feels tangled, plans may shift unexpectedly, and passions require deeper reflection. These energies ask us to slow down, not to halt the pursuit, but to ensure our arrows are aimed with intention. It’s a paradoxical season: movement infused with introspection, action tempered by awareness.

Here, the invitation is to let go of rigidity and embrace curiosity. Sagittarius offers us the courage to wander into the unknown, to reimagine what freedom looks like, even when the road feels uncertain. This is a call to honor the questions as much as the answers, to trust the rhythm of discovery, and to find wisdom in both the quiet and the quest.

Sagittarius’s fiery arena offered a unique play where rules seemed set yet oddly selective in their application. It resembled a mind game—a realization that not all segments of existence conformed to these laid-out regulations. This revelation holds the catalyst for crafting our own guidelines, renaming the very concept of rules, and living within these new constructs.

This shift isn’t just an individual pursuit; it reflects humanity’s timeless quest. We are seeking answers in various forms, contemplating the most existential questions: Why are we here? What defines the limits of our existence? How do we measure our presence in this vast universe?

The most profound exploration is that of oneself—plunging into self-exploration across all dimensions and aspects.

The preceding Scorpio season acted as a key, unlocking a passage to the deep waters. The urge for introspection merged with the transformative fire, incinerating the obsolete, and giving rise to a system aligned with our present state.

This two-hour blend aims to ignite a sense of freedom—embrace an adventurous spirit rather than following the usual path. Allow the melodies to guide your exploration of uncharted emotional territories and philosophical musings.

Oh sweet end of the year, how exhausting you can feel… but also how exciting it is to wrap up and start setting some intentions for 2023! Sagittarius is bringing out the positivity we needed after that intense Eclipse Season. It represents the mutable (so yes, flexible) fire energy between Scorpio and Capricorn, it is the positive one that is not afraid to explore the shadows while shining its bright light and flirting all the way till the end (Sagittarius know what we are talking about). This is the Season to reflect with a positive attitude about what we are meant to embrace before we close this 2022, that has been such a ride to us all. For us as Middle Pillar, we are closing our first year in Dublab and we couldn’t be happier to celebrate it with music and expansion-of-consciousness vibes with a Sagi’s magical twist. Buckle up!

Embark on a free-flowing journey through ambient landscapes, electronica, downtempo, and assorted intercepted transmissions.

Greetings, cosmic voyagers, as we embark on the ethereal currents of Pisces season, marking the grand finale of our astrological journey. Let us gracefully surrender to the deep waters of reflection and integration, for as we bid adieu to another celestial year, Pisces season invites us to hit the cosmic pause button. It’s a moment to honor our individual and collective paths, weaving the lessons and experiences into the intricate tapestry of our lives.

Pisces, in its gentle wisdom, reminds us of the delicate balance between earthly grounding and spiritual transcendence. It is through this balance that we find our true direction, our feet firmly planted on the ground serving as a symbol of our connection to the Piscean realm.

So, let us take this moment to honor our journey, acknowledging the lessons learned and experiences gained. As we reflect on the past astrological year with gratitude, may we effortlessly drift into the tranquil waters of introspection, embracing the soft whispers of insight that guide us forward.

The intention of the mix is to share a soundscape where to connect with our own primal sound and restore the inner sound fields.

Find a comfortable position and a quiet place to listen to this mix.
You’re invited to choose a crystal, which is going to join you on this 2-hour journey.
Use the first part of the session to meditate lying on your back, relax and allow yourself to connect with the mineral frequencies, dive deep on the immersive sounds and give access to the hidden realms within yourself.
The second part brings electro down tempo vibes to comeback and re-connect to the physical body and it’s true expression. Stand up vertically, grab the crystal and move freely to the sounds.
Allow the crystal to dance with you, going to the parts of your body that need to heal. Release tension all the density from the layers of your body. Breath in, hold, breath out. You’re invited to close this cycle by bringing awareness of multidimensional levels of intelligence, extending beyond the five senses of the physical body. Thank you for being here and now, the healing is now completed.

We are welcoming these energies to focus on dreaming big, with no guilt, no shame, no limits. Let this show remind you of what you are capable of achieving by celebrating what was and honoring what is, so we can all co-create a healthier, more expansive reality altogether. Remember, where focus goes, energy flows.
jon limon has his life, his heart and his things spread out across the world, a fact that informs his eclectic musical taste and output. Having recently uprooted from blue-sky Barcelona to a more detached, hermit-in-the-woods existence in the rolling hills of Chiapas, jon performs on a weekly basis in the bustling water holes of San Cristobal de las Casas, experimenting always with new sounds, styles and concepts.

Through most of his work permeates the unmistakable influence of his love for jazz, burning brightly in its youth, a nascent discovery that revivified his pursuit of music after having somewhat abandoned the craft in his early twenties to try his hand in the world of film. With might and main, jon writes and teaches music from his home studio, always with the intention of imbuing that which he creates with humour and commentary about serious topics, like love, climate change, and his dog, for example.
